NonCredibleDefense
A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

This shit is dark AF lmao
Yeah a lot of people might not be aware just how heinous Japans actions were in The Second Sino-Japanese War (the Chinese War of Resistance) in the lead-up to Asias involvement in WWII.
The Rape of Ninjing and Unit 731 are just two of the atrocities we know of.
Implying that Japan is now "back for more" and with frens this time is indeed pretty dark.
You mean Japans Gamer moment that was even too much for the fucking SS?
I think that's probably true - Japan has such a sanitized reputation now (which, frankly, isn't entirely deserved), and most people probably don't ever take a history class after high school, so a lot of people probably genuinely don't know how bad it was. I did a little over 3 years of an undergrad history major and never heard a word about it. The only reason I know anything about it is because my AP US History teacher in high school told a few of us about it after a class on WWII. I had nightmares about some of the pictures for a few nights. I see why they don't generally teach it to kids.
Let me correct you, only otakus didn't known. Japan is known to be worst than germany in thoses old times
Comfort Women are up there too. Japan was twisted af
Or at a thousand other points in their history with China.
I only recently learned about Unit 731 and I wish I hadn't. It's that fucking bad. Shit keeps me up at night if I allow myself to think about it.
A group of humans so bad the nazis saved people from them
The funny thing about John Rabe is that he was probably the only Nazi in any sort of power after The Night of the Long Knives to think they were still a socialist party, because he was off chilling in China and everyone forgot about him.
Unless if you're from Asia.
Let's not forget the entire colonization of Korea.
The Imperial flag too 👀
It's actually their Navy flag that's still in use
Imagine if Germany still used the Nazi flag.
Their Navy flag predates the rise of State Shinto and Imperial Japan. It's not really the same thing
The swastika predates Nazi Germany, but is forever tarnished by it. In Asia, the flag of Imperial Japan is often seen as a symbol of fascism, Imperialism, and war crimes.
There are actually efforts to reclaim the swastika for cultural reasons predating the Nazis. It's not hard to tell a Nazi swastika from a Hindu one
Behind the Bastards did a two part episode on the history of it.
I know what the Rising Sun flag means in Asia. I'm just saying that they're not quite the same thing.
More power to them for trying to reclaim it! It was stolen anyways.
The difference with Imperial Japan is that the flag is still being used by the same group that committed war crimes. The Rising Sun can't simply be reclaimed, unlike the Swastika.
Point being is that there's a reasonable reason for the Japanese Naval flag to be in a Japanese Naval meme. If you want at reason to think the meme wasn't made in good faith, I'd be more worried about how the Japanese guy is holding a machete to the other guy's throat. That actually does conjure up ideas about WWII war crimes.
Lol imagine being so edgy that NCD says "pump the brakes bruh."
Apparently this is more controversial than mommy milkers on an airplane.
It is safe to assume the militarysexual status already comes with the territory.
